LT Foods, the Indian-origin FMCG major known for its flagship rice and packaged food products, has announced the strategic expansion of its organic arm—Nature Bio Foods Ltd (NBFL)—into the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) segment in Europe. This move marks a significant shift from its traditionally B2B-driven model and aligns with the company’s ambition to build a global footprint for sustainable, traceable food products.
At the core of this expansion is a new 20,000 sq. metre facility at Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s key maritime gateway. The facility is designed to process and package a wide range of organic food products sourced from more than 20 countries, including India and several African nations. The company has committed an initial capital expenditure of ₹20 crore, with an additional Rs. 15 crore investment planned over the next three years.
Equipped with CO₂ pressure chambers for chemical-free disinfestation, three processing lines, automated packaging, and storage for 15,000 pallets, the facility meets stringent European sustainability standards. With an annual handling capacity of 15,000 metric tonnes, it positions LT Foods to serve growing demand for organic dry food categories—including rice, pulses, superfoods, seeds, and cashews—across mainstream retail channels in Germany, the Benelux region, and beyond.
The launch marks a critical step in replicating LT Foods’ successful India model in global markets. According to Managing Director & CEO Ashwani Arora, the move is a “bold step toward strengthening a traceable, efficient, and climate-conscious organic supply chain in Europe.”
Rohan Grover, CEO, Nature Bio Foods, added that the facility would allow the company to significantly tap into the €45 billion EU organic food market, supported by the best talent and technology.
LT Foods expects the new Rotterdam unit to begin contributing to revenues from FY 2026–27, targeting Rs. 400 crore in incremental revenue over five years.
This investment signals a long-term commitment to environmental responsibility, global B2C scalability, and enhanced control over quality and traceability in the organic value chain.
